I never played those games, but this description brought to mind Ezra Bridger’s journey, with his sling/blaster/lightsaber combo and now I’m bummed that we will probably never see a legit Star Wars Rebels game.

Man, I have to watch Star Wars Rebels so that I can be bummed with you. Ever since they announced they’d be introducing Thrawn, I’ve wanted to check it out. Thanks for the reminder!

Listening to Patrick talk about boot disks and config files brought me waaaaay back. I remember playing Dark Forces at a friend’s house and being totally blown away. My parents gifted it to me for my birthday that year (at that time there weren’t 80 new must play games a year #old) and we had a HELL of a time getting it to run on our 486. In the end the IT guy from my dad’s office made us a boot disk and it all worked out.

I played KOTOR 2 this year, and wow that game is really interesting. I should say that I played it with the restored content mod installed. I think what I liked about that game the most is the unique perspective it had on the Star Wars mythology. I wonder if any of that perspective is going to make its way into The Last Jedi.
